November marks Woman Abuse Prevention Month in Ontario and the launch of the Wrapped in Courage Campaign organized by the Ontario Association of Interval & Transition Houses. Gender-based violence (GBV) agencies across Ontario are asking community members to wear a purple scarf to show their support for survivors of GBV within their community and beyond.Â
When you purchase one of these special scarves, all the proceeds go to our local Hiatus House.
For the last decade, the Wrapped in Courage Campaign has been growing awareness of gender-based violence across Ontario through purple scarves. These scarves mean something different to everyone who wears them.Â
Just like survivors of gender-based violence across Ontario, every Wrapped in Courage 2022 Campaign Purple Scarf is unique!
Each of these Fair Trade scarves was handcrafted by marginalized artisans passionate about ethical manufacturing and human rights. Buying a scarf makes a difference in the lives of the artisans of these scarves. they are hand made in nepal for OAITH by Hamro Village. They are made in one part of the world and sold in another, showing the support, unity and resiliency to end gender based violence around the globe.Â
